The Section 8 Rental Voucher Program is authorized by the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, Section 8(b) and, being Federal, should transfer from state to state. I'd find out for sure, prior to moving. Let us know what you find out. Good luck!
You have too call the County In The State your looking too move into. First ask if there accepting Ports. Meaning your porting in too there county. If not they may be billing, which means they bill YOUR housing Authority your at now. In that case if they are that means you must call your worker and see if they are accepting billing. If not then that county is out. Not many counties or states are asorbing right now. And you can't go by State , You must go County BY County in the state you choose.
And if you can figure that out you must go by What there rent limits are for your household size and income BUT do not go top doller if you have income or you will get screwed up. If they say 3 bedroom 850 tops then I deduct 150 of that cause I am on disability. Cause you will get there, line up a house then find out the numbers don't jive and hope too hell the Landlord will lower the rent.
I hope this helps.
THANK YOU...THANK YOU...YOUR ANSWER FINALLY FILLS IN MOST OF THE BLANKS FOR ME...
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND OUT ABOUT "PORTING" OUT OF CALIFORNIA BUT GET CAUGHT BETWEEN OREGON H.U.D. TELLING ME TO ASK CALIFORNIA...AND VICE VERSA...WITHOUT GETTING ANYWHERE.
I am originally from Oregon, and have lived in San Diego, CA for over 30 years, since the Navy landed me here, and 15 of those years I have been on HUD - Section 8 Housing. I have desperately wanted to move 'home' for about 5 years now...
I cannot take the heat in Southern Cal any longer, the dry weather, the lack of greenery & mountains & streams, not to mention the political and financial downfall of the California government to run it's state productively. (Or with a lick of sense...like we on a fixed income have to!!!) Oregon may not be better...but it will be different...and I love the weather!!!
IN THE 2 YEARS SINCE I HAVE STARTED LOOKING INTO MOVING WITH MY SECTION 8 HOUSING...I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN A CLEAR ANSWER TO MY QUESTION ABOUT "PORTING" TO ANOTHER STATE...NOT FROM EMAILING OREGON H.U.D...NOT FROM ANY Q & A WEBSITE...and... NOT EVEN FROM MY OWN CALIF. H.U.D. CASE WORKER...!!! (She said ask Oregon to explain!)
BUT NOW....NOW...THANKS TO YOU...
I HAVE SOME UNDERSTANDING AND A PLACE TO START...ANY "COUNTY" IN OREGON !!!
I think I'm gonna put one foot in front of the other ...and...BUST A MOVE!!!
Warm Thanks Again, Your Answer is Much Appreciated!!!
